SAN FRANCISCO, CA.- The fall Fine Prints auction at Bonhams, October 23 in San Francisco, brought an impressive $1.7 million, led by the $338,500 sale of Richard Diebenkorns Green. The largely-green etching surpassed its pre-sale estimate of $200,000-300,000 to top the auctions highlights, and its sale marks the second-highest amount ever paid for the work at auction. Another work by Diebenkorn Blue, woodcut in colors, sold well, bringing $37,500 (est. $40,000-60,000).

The Fine Prints Department Director at Bonhams, Judith Eurich, said of the sale: We were extremely thrilled with the sale results. The contemporary art market, in particular, is very robust as their results were strong, and often exceeded the estimates.

Various Warhol works performed very well in the auction. Among them were Black Rhinoceros, from Endangered Species, a colored screenprint which brought $43,750 (est. $25,000-35,000); 25 Cats Name(d) Sam and One Blue Pussy, comprising 18 offset lithographs, with lettering by Warhol's mother, Julia Warhola, which sold for $40,000 (est. $25,000-35,000); One Plate, from Mick Jagger, a colored screenprint, signed by the artist and Mick Jagger, which took in $30,000 (est. $25,000-35,000); and Kiku, comprising three colored screenprints, which claimed $27,500 (est. $15,000-20,000).

Notable lots, which soared above their estimates, continued with Hassams The White Kimono, etching featuring a woman before a fireplace in her kimono, which brought $26,250 (est. $8,000-12,000) and Dalis Imaginations and Objects of the Future, comprising 10 drypoint etchings, which took in $25,000 (est. $10,000-15,000).
